no, it's dubious logic. Jehovah's Witnesses were persecuted in Russia for understandable reasons, because in Russia they will not tolerate the confession that lead from the United States. Other denominations are not in danger in Russia. Do not believe anyone, everything is fine in Russia.

Re: Attack on Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia

That may well be. But religious discrimination and persecution should not be tolerated, no matter who the victim is.

Amen. Same in the USA when they adoption agencies run by nuns shut down because they can’t place orphans in same-sex homes due to convictions. They may be Roman Catholic but Evangelicals need to pay attention.

Yeah, right. That's why my Ukrainian neighbors had to leave their home, because "everything is fine in Russia."

The left hates God and His people.

Those who seek God with all their heart will find Him and be given sight. Those who seek their own agenda will remain blind.

Yep. I think our former president was a warning shot. It will only get worse if we don't pay attention. I think that is why President Trump got so much support from evangelicals. I know that there were folks that couldn't vote for Romney because he was a mormon. Makes no sense to me given what the left is like these days. But after what happened with Obamacare, hopefully, evangelicals have been awakened. Without that, I don't think we could have supported someone like Trump. (He has greatly and pleasantly surprised me with how he has governed.)

Becoming rather obvious that this is the case. We should have our eyes wide open going forward.

I voted for Romney without hesitation. I wasn’t electing a pastor in 2012 or in 2016. I was electing a president. Romney was governor of Massachusetts. Massachusetts never became the new Utah. I never understood the worry of Romney’s Mormonism.

Religion. Just like those in Jesus day... many people choke at a gnat and swallow a camel. IMO, its a religious spirit/mindset driving those folks.

Edit: I voted for Romney too. IMO, it was an easy choice.

Re: Attack on Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia

Just watch what the left does in the US and who they hate. They go after nuns and target their belief systems with the force of government. Keck is not biased. He is seeing things clearly.

If I understand correctly, the leftists are socialists and communists, or similar political parties. By the way, in Russia and Ukraine and other countries of the former USSR, many modern leftists are parishioners of the Orthodox Church and they do not persecute nuns. The modern left in these countries is often not atheists as it was before (as I know).

Re: Attack on Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia

I admit I am biased by the truth. The truth is the left is acting out with hate, persecution and intolerance just like the Комите́т госуда́рственной безопа́сности.

Well, you say such terrible things, this structure does not exist since the collapse of the USSR, why rush the past.

But you missed the point. I don’t care if half of Ukraine “likes Russia.” (And I don’t beleive that anyway).

believe it or not, I do know about this.

Russia is wrong. Persecution is wrong.

in any country there are persecutions of dissidents, you might think that there are no persecutions in the US. In the US, for example, the Communists are banned, will we make a noise because of this, that in the USA are persecuting the Communists? Is it not infringed upon their rights? Let's worry.
